Acorns don’t get the same kind of attention that fall leaves do, and that’s a shame, because they are pretty in their own right and are a fun motif for crafting. Check out these acorn cross stitch patterns and stitch up some decor for fall.
This vintage acorns pattern by Jeanette Douglas is available from Five Nineteen Finds and features a scattering of acorns along with vines, leaves, hearts, and an alphabet, giving it a classic sampler feel. Keep the whole alphabet as it is or stitch a word or phrase there instead, or just leave it off if you’d rather. As is this design is 146 by 156 stitches, which comes out to about 7.5 by 8 inches/19 by 20.3 cm on the 40 count linen shown.
Speaking of samplers, that’s a common way to present acorn cross stitch patterns. This one is a printed pattern from Cross Eyed Cricket that features the letters on the acorn. The pattern is 84 by 86 and is shown worked on 28 count linen. You can order the pattern from Hollis Hand Create.
The pattern from Lucky Cross Stitching reminds me of a sampler, though in this case it’s a sampler of stitches, not letters. Here there are designs inside the acorn worked in various fall colors. The pattern calls for four colors and measures 68 by 83 stitches. That’s about 4.8 by 5.9 inches, or 12.34 by 15 cm, on 14 count fabric.
I love this realistic acorn and leaf pattern from Cutaura, which is 200 by 200 stitches and uses 17 colors. It’s such a pretty design and would look great in your home through fall and winter. You could even change the colors of the leaf to make it feel more fall if you want.
Another gorgeous realistic pattern is this one of acorns on a branch with leaves from Mason Art Maison. It is also 200 by 200 stitches, and it looks like it uses 11 colors.
Needle Treasures Nook has this primitive acorn design that is shown as a pincushion. It is 73 by 73 stitches and could also be a little pillow, ornament or little framed project. It uses four colors and is shown on 32 count linen.
